Marine services firm James Fisher & Sons rose 9.8%. It hailed a "solid overall trading performance" through the second half of 2024.
It expects underlying operating profit of around GBP29 million, ahead of current market expectations.
"I am encouraged by our 2024 performance which will show underlying profit ahead of expectations together with an improved cash position. We ended the year in a stronger position having continued to execute on our turnaround strategy, including undertaking disposals and refinancing our debt facilities. As a result, we are now beginning to see the benefits of our transformation programme coming through," Chief Executive Officer Jean Vernet said.
